No idea what happens in Helsinki. In Kuopio they are in Finnish only and that's typical, but Helsinki is a unique place.

And remember to check out your local craftspeople who might have no website or any internet presence at all! At least in Finland, in bigger cities there is a yearly knife making class that usually gets filled and ends in exhibition, some alumni end up quite good. And there is usually local smith who knows what they are doing.
There are no full alternatives in whole world for cf, unfortunately, but that's just because they reward lazyness. We should identify particular issues and stop placing all eggs in competitors basket.
I haven't done my part yet here.
We have https://professional.sunstargum.com/en-en/#cmp-accordion__item-europe too. There was really nice toothpaste from Urtekram, but it's gone from stores for a year now for some reason.
Dry some leaves of this guy before it blooms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamaenerion_angustifolium. You can squeeze them by hands before drying or not, the tea will be kinda "red" or "green" accordingly.
This thing is awesome too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypericum, just dry the flowers or any part of the plant with blooming flowers attached.
If you are into fruity tastes, just dry loads of raspberry leaves or whatever berries you have and steep them with tiny amount of any tea.
We have a shop that sells some good teas made in Finland: teemaa.fi
As far as I know, birds milk is a soviet recipe, comfort food for former ussr sufferers, and the only way to get it to taste really good is DIY which is super simple and fast. Industrial fab just calls for instant enshittification of this treat. Still nice to see the concept alive.
I just bought discount auctioned server from Hetzner, but it was a massive overkill, just happened to be that way; their cheap VMs are totally enough.
Sorry, the last thing was a joke. I just don't like remote calls, no matter what app or protocol.
This is pretty much how I left academia lol, took me 10 years to build a lab and get a tenure (european citizenship, with social benefits and stuff), regret nothing.
